First off, a couple necessary THANK YOU's: to Jason Stout, who helped out by taking over 150 pics on Sunday, including some great non-race pics of riders and their families enjoying the SCF atmosphere.
And I think we all might need to thank my savior on Sunday, Curtis Newkirk. Unfortunately during the flag lap, I missed a great picture of all the teams on the track because the battery in the camera died. I went back to Rob's bag to grab the second battery, but it also was dead. So to the rescue came Curtis, who borrowed me one of his camera batteries so I could finish off the day (which was about 540 pics). So if you enjoyed the pictures from Sunday, Curtis is the one who made that all possible! (Well, except for the 150+ Stout took with my camera since I had a set of fully charged spare AA batteries in my bag
)
And I can't forget all the tremendous RAD Canyon volunteers who made the SCF races the success they were! From the track, to the snack bar, to the awards presentation, EXCELLENT JOB and THANK YOU!
For me (since I wasn't up for a State Championship), this weekend was all about the pictures. I really tried to get some different shots than normal, and to take as many as possible so I didn't miss anyone. Some of the pictures turned out a little dark, but overall there were alot of great shots this weekend.
A great part of the weekend was seeing some of our injured riders back on the track riding. Jeremiah Fazzio (I cringed when you crashed in the 2nd turn, hope the shoulder is still okay!), Adam Smith and Riley Winn. Colton Dale ended his saturday with an injured shoulder, but looked to be in good spirits on sunday.
Congrats to all out State Champions, and to all our rider running State #'s for next year! Next year will be my last in the 28-35 and 31-35 Cr classes, so I'll be looking for both State #1 plates next year. Look out Ian and Dave, I'm coming for ya!
